Continuing my tour in the south, had to hit up a well recommended seafood spot. I've never has crawfish before so i was excited to try it! Omg the food was AMAZING Had the boiled peanuts to start followed by char grilled oysters yumm So seasoned with butter and cheese total mouthgasm. Next i had the mixed greens salad and a crab cake appetizer, basically the size of a small pancake! Only one downside was our waitress was a little distracted and informed us that the drink with a shorty combo wasn't available, even though we saw a few other tables doing it. But the smoked crab was incredible ! Never tasted flavors like that before... must try for seafood lovers !! read more

The food was delicious, but I believe this is more of a lunch spot instead of dinner. The portion size was a bit small. I had the mint lemonade and I'm going back to try the cherry limeade. For dinner I choose the shrimp burger and replaced the bun with lettuce. It was delicious with broccoli and a bite of my friend's catfish. From the parking lot to the inside seating the place is small but the waiters are attentive and funny. I'll definitely be going back. Maybe for brunch. read more

Bon Ton - Mai Tai - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Everything has good flavor here although a little over spiced and over priced for what you get. The best things are their fried baskets. I've ordered the boiled seafood before and ordered a pound of crawfish to go. It didn't look like a pound and have wondered in the past about their measurements. Luckily I have a scale at home and it was only .728 pounds! It doesn't look like they even weigh their food when you order boiled seafood. Scamming your customers at $15/lb is shady. read more

I was visiting Atlanta for a wedding, so I was a tourist looking for some good southern food. I book-marked Bon Ton after seeing their menu and reading some good reviews. I went seeking the shrimp po-boy and hush puppies. Right off the bat, I was very pleased with the service I received from the young staff in the front of the house. They were so kind and accommodating. I ordered a shrimp po-boy and an order of the hush puppies. The sandwich was yummy but the best thing were the hush puppies. They absolutely hit those out of the park. They were delicious and addicting. Next time I'm in Atlanta I would stop by Bon Ton specifically for these. Great vibe, nice area, awesome service and these yummy hush puppies made for a wonderful experience! read more

Bon Ton - Delicious Hush Puppies - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This was a new spot to try after reading their menu and hearing how they have a seafood/New Orleans blend. Reservations are encouraged. Although the website hadn't been updated, they are open for business. Came on a Friday night and it was a safe dining experience. The ambience is definitely New Orleans style. They had a great music selection. The only drawback for me was it was too dark for dining. I like to see my food. The service was great. Our server Kevin made great recommendations from their drink menu. My dining partner had their New Orleans Hurricane. It looked great but I didn't try it. We ordered their fried seafood basket and we were not disappointed. The catfish and oysters were fried and seasoned to perfection. They give you a great amount of food. We tried dessert but I didn't really like it. It looked as though it would have been an apple pie but the texture and topping made it mushy. This would be a fun girls night out spot. They have the vibe to make it fun. read more

So Bon Ton has been bookmarked for some time in my yelp account and for some strange reason I never made it until one Friday in December for their Sippin Santa holiday pop up bar. I'm a big fan of Miracle on Monroe for the holiday cocktails but Bon Ton takes the lead with the food. Everything I ate was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. I loved the tiki Santa theme and the place was very cheesy decorated which was fantastic, it reminded me of being in the bar in fear and loathing in Las Vegas but much more vibrant. The music was great, comfy booths to sit in that are very roomy, cool vibe, nice servers and very nice tunes playing. I tried one of the holiday cocktails and it was fruity and delicious. I ordered a small shrimp basket with fries and it also came with 2 hush puppies. I was very surprised by the size, it was so filling and the shrimp were very large. Every item in that basket had flavor....oh my gosh, it was so good!! The holiday pop up bars are leaving until next year but I will definitely be back at Bon Ton before that time to try more of their menu items. Oh yeah, can't forget, I sampled the mac n cheese with crawfish and it was AMAZING. Love that they used shell noodles and it definitely had a cajun kick to it. read more

This place is amongst my Atlanta favorites! Their food is a fun spin on a few different styles and never disappoints. I love sitting at the bar to look at all of the cool artwork and photos. We recommend starting here for dinner then making your way upstairs to their cocktail bar, Waiting Room, for a fun date night or girls night that can't be beat. read more

I came here on New Years Eve with my man friend and the atmosphere was great. We did reserve a table to insure we could get in, but they were also taking walk-ins. We sat at the bar and started with cocktails. The bar tenders were fast, efficient and friendly. The drinks and food were fabulous. I got a crab boil and the seasoning was spot on. The man friend got Vietnamese meatballs and said they were fantastic. I can't remember the drink names but they were tasty and strong enough that drink names weren't the only things forgotten that night. Very happy with the service, ambiance and my meal. read more

Oh my this place looks like a "hole in the wall", but the food is very unique and delicious. The service is great the atmosphere is a vibe...and the smoked crab....keeps me coming back. Vietnamese meets creole...all day....I'll be back soon...Parking can get cracking on a great night so pack some patience, but totally worth waiting if you can order the broccolini and oysters etc....drinks are good as well. read more

I love this place. It's a very small, maybe 15 tables total that I saw. It definitely gives French quarter vibes, so cute, but a little rugged lol. The food was great. We tried a variety of things and every single thing we got was good. Service was nice, considering our table wasn't ready so we opted to sit at a high table close to the bar. There is also free parking. read more

l visited this place right after landing in atlanta for the first time and needed a late night food option. Was pleasantly surprised to find this place. It is in a central location and it is a cozy and inviting environment. We were able to be seated right away and the waiter gave us great suggestions. We ordered the crawfish ettoufee and the nashville hot po' boy. both exceeded expectations and will definitely find my way back here if I'mever in Atlanta again! read more

Tried the XO charbroiled oysters and they were just okay, I'm not sure the flavors worked for me and it tasted a little gritty. We also got the braised beef po boy which was good. The mac and cheese was a highlight though! I'd love to come back and try more of the menu one day. read more

Super fun place! Great vibe! Went there to enjoy their crawfish, which had a great taste. Wish the portions were a bit larger. The food was very flavorful. The fried shrimp and oysters were delicious. The crab legs were also yummy. Super cool vibe with the corner table with pink fur. Bit expensive but we super enjoyed the crawfish. The service was a bit slow but fun place to go check out. read more

First time here but will definitely return! From the ambiance to the food everything was delectable! My wife and share a few small dishes and had drinks, nothing was short of a mouth watering experience! The bartender was knowledgeable even though she was in her first few shifts, we couldn't even tell. She had great recommendations and also made a wonderful ginger beer-like concoction for us as a chaser. Now the part you want to see..the pictures read more

This is a cute resturant with great food! The crab claws were EXCELLENT! May I have that crab claw sauce to go?! I had the shrimp basket and the table had the shrimp burger, étouffée & crab cake. We also had the margaritas which were pricey for the amount but tasty nonetheless. My only complaint was the service! It seems they were understaffed but listen, your attitude goes a long way. Both servers made us feel as if we were an inconvenience dining in their restaurant. TUH! Could it be that since gratuity was already applied, they didn't care?! I would visit again but probably sit at the bar or in their upstairs speakeasy. read more

Went to Bon Ton for Father's Day today and totally enjoyed it. I had the gumbo appetizer, which was very tasty and just right spicy a little on the hot side. I had the etouffe with crawfish and noticed a little of the Vietnamese influence and totally enjoyed it. My companions had a Shrimp sub, meatball as appetizer and some kind of special hamburger that was also enjoyed. Quirky inside. Great service. Parking in rear. Will go again. read more

Great experience from just walking in the door. My server was great and the atmosphere was cool! Would recommend for a chill night out

Bon Ton will ace it when it comes to vibes and service. But, if you're looking for great creole or cajun food, Bon Ton probably isn't going to give you your fix. I went on a Saturday during crawfish season, as I had heard that Bon Ton was the place to get great boiled crawfish. I didn't hear wrong, exactly. Bon Ton does have decent boiled, Cajun style crawfish. But..they aren't great. The flavor is kinda there (ok spice and flavor) but the crawfish texture was slightly rubbery. So maybe the crawfish were boiled way earlier in the day, then re-heated in a microwave? Not sure, but if you're a crawfish aficionado, Bon Ton may come through in a pinch, but isn't likely to fully satisfy a crawfish craving. I don't know exactly what altered the texture, but they just missed the mark. read more

Ep. 7 of AntlantaEats This place was very highly recommended to me by a friend. I ordered their Shrimp & Fries w/ Mac n Cheese (which they did a great job btw). The Shrimp was perfect but decent size (for the price) I'm not a huge fan of hush puppies in general (comes with the order) I left it untouched.

Bon Ton - Large Shrimp, Fries, Mac and Cheese - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Really cool vibe and great food. Cocktail list was fun. Finally some Vietcajun on Ponce.

They add an automatic 20% tip for 2 people. We didn't realize it and added tip on the amount plus tip. And refused to fix it for us when we realized it and hung up on us. I would not recommend the restaurant to anyone. The food was ok, but I feel really scammed by their business. read more

I think that someone must have played a terrible prank on the kitchen staff here and must have slightly loosened the salt shaker tops - such that when the chef went to salt the food, all its contents fell into the pot. It's genuinely, so salty, it's almost inedible. I ordered the boiled peanuts and fried oysters. Regretfully, I made my oysters a basket, and the salt overload was just too much for me to handle. My friends ordered the oyster Po boy and the crawfish. We all agreed the boiled peanuts alone were too salty. However, my friend with the oyster Po boy was thankful she ordered it because the bread helped offset the salt. However, the oysters in her sandwich were a lot spicier than she expected. She was also very pleased with her green beans. My other friend had a good time with her crawfish and Mac and cheese, although she did feel the crawfish was also over salted. She was also pretty drunk from the pop-up sipping Santa menu, so we really can't trust her opinion. While the food was disgustingly salty, the drinks were good and the service was pretty good, especially considering how busy and packed the place was. read more

This spot was super cute, found it on Yelp! The food was tasty, we had a cat fish basket, oysters hush puppies and amazing cocktails. Our server was kind, but seemed a little aloof, almost like he was new. I would say, be mindful of your add-ons, as the price can creep up on you read more

If you're into tacky tiki bars with sad food then this is the place to go. Was here for lunch. Apparently no gumbo, staff said 'it wasn't ready'... boo. First red flag here: A place advertising Louisiana food but no gumbo. Crawfish sandwich: while very generous with the crawfish, the meat was cold, flaccid and drenched in a flavorless sauce. Crabcakes were mushy and was there crab? I couldn't tell. The blackened catfish banh mi was flavorful, but fish was not fresh: it was soft, and not the firm texture that fresh catfish should be. They have a dedicated parking lot which is great since it's downtown. read more

Food and drinks were awesome. The vibes are cool, and the decor is really awesome. My only complaint was the wait staff. The waitresses were not friendly. Customer service is a job where you have to deal with people. These girls did not seem thrilled to wait on us or answer any questions we had about the menu. They were very short with us and had short patience. Not to mention, they charged us $2 for extra bread that came with our crab claws. read more

Had a wonderful time and meal here. I've been across the street to Mary Mac's about a million times, but this was my first time here. I have noticed the brightly colored building before though. I'm thinking that their name should be placed more conspicuously by the door instead of on the side of the building (facing the parking lot). Speaking of parking lot, they have a free one and it is small. However, since we went on an early weekday night, we were able to easily park in it. The interior is cool and cozy. I liked it a lot. We were seated at a two top, but I requested to move because I felt a wicked draft. We just popped over to the next table and it was no problem. Our server was Christopher and he was wonderful. His attentiveness was perfect and he made the evening go swell. We really enjoyed the food. I had never had smoked crab legs, so that was a must try. I could taste the nice smokey flavor; however, I found them just a bit salty. They were good never-the-less. The po boy was abundant with juicy shrimp and great bread; a winner for sure. The smoke Gouda mac & cheese with crawfish won my heart. It was delicious. Also a star, the crab cake. It was loaded with plenty of crab and not a whole bunch of fillers. A mouthful of it with the pickled veggies that were served along side was perfect. The hush puppies were just okay. The drinks were on point. I will say that it is time to get the cloth chairs and that rug couch cleaned. I can imagine it would be difficult to keep that up. The chairs were quite comfy though. Also, I was quite annoyed when Open Table sent me an email that I didn't keep my reservation, which means that they (Bon Ton) didn't do something properly. I let them know when I got there that I had a reservation. I had to respond to Open Table that I had, in fact, kept the reservation; which was, again, annoying. Overall, this was a great experience. read more

The food here is really good. Had the fried feast with some friends which included blackened catfish, fried crawfish/shrimp/oysters, fried and hush puppies. The cocktails are very good here too. Recommend the michelata. The side cold noodles were good as well. I didn't try the gumbo but the only complaint was that it was a very small portion for the price but overall had a great experience and thought most of the items were reasonably priced. Will definitely be back. Had the blackened catfish bang and shrimp pho boy sandwich for lunch. Both were great. read more

OVERALL: Bon Ton is a really cool concept, but I think the details need refining. It seems like the quality is hit or miss depending on the night and what you order. I would give it another shot but am not rushing back. PARKING: Oh my god a nightmare. The lot fills up quickly, you cannot street park on side streets after 5PM (resident only), and you can't park at Mary Mac's. Your only option if you can't get in their lot is to park somewhere on the side of Ponce. We spent 20 mins trying to find parking. Plan accordingly! Or Uber! FOOD: I've sampled a lot, and here are my takes for each. - The crispy chicken is a must! So tasty, lots of herbs! - If you like them, the hush puppies are great as a side! - The papaya salad we ordered either came undressed as a mistake, or it was not good. There were very few, super finely chopped herbs (adding no flavor), no peanuts, and no evidence of sauce? We meant to ask the waitress, but didn't get a chance. - Meatballs are good but nothing special. The sauce that comes with is what would distinguish the dish from-- except it's too thin to grab the meat! We ended up pouring it over the papaya salad. - Buford hwy style oyster/catfish po boy we're both good, but absolutely not numbing spicy from the szechuan oil, or spicy at all. Again, the seafood itself was tasty, but not what I expected. - Cauliflower falafel banh mi was the only really veg-friendly item on the menu, and it contains nuts despite not being labeled... It also was lackluster. Ours came as just the patty, with very very few herbs, no jalapeños, etc. Nothing like a banh mi. - In the future, I would stick to a seafood boil or fried seafood here. DRINKS: All cocktails ordered were tasty! Lots of options, mostly classic cocktails with a spin of some sort. VIBE + SERVICE: Incredible. Everyone's friendly, the decor is trendy and has a sort of "underground" feel with the dark lighting against neon + tiki decor. Lots of outdoor seating and an upstairs bar as well (which we did not visit!) read more

First time visiting Atlanta and we stubbled upon Bon Ton. Our server was unbelievably kind, cute and incredibly knowledgeable when it came to the menu. There Is nothing worse than a server who doesn't know the menu. We order a plethora of things- the items that I tried are: Crabstravaganza- perfect for our party of 6. Crab legs were meaty. Lots of fries. Oysters- no complaints. Spicy shrimp Bahn mi- shrimp was great and the flavors were there, but the bread was soggy. Bon Ton hurricane- VERY STRONG. cool atmosphere, fun time, I'd recommend. read more

My husband had been wanting to come to this place for weeks for his birthday. We made it a pint to travel on a Sunday over an hour to make sure we made it happen. OMG what a mistake! We ordered our food (a catfish po-boy, a shrimp po-boy, 2 burgers, Bonton fries, and Mac and cheese. Listen it was overpriced and unflavorful. I wanted the crab fingers (which are a pretty frequent item all over their menu) they were out of crab fingers or any crab! I asked if I could get some fresh fries, I never received them! The waitress never said a thing! She came back to the table to let me know that the fries were removed. Absolutely they were because I never received them!? My son (who eats everything) barely touched his Mac n cheese. My kids enjoyed the burgers ($12 Jo the burger only) however it was so small. Really the size of a kids meal burger but on a standard menu. I don't know if we came on an off day or what but it was pretty empty and the food was lackluster! So they have an automatic tip of 20% no matter what size party you have. We asked if our tip could be removed and we provide our own gratuity based on our overall experience. Besides my husband wanted this for weeks and it was a let down! After we requested this the manager came over and debated with a horrible attitude. She proceeded to debate with us about why she would not remove the gratuity and making excuses for the poor overall experience and food! She stood over us and berated us for not telling her step by step on each item of food we did not like! All because we only asked that she remove the gratuity. We didn't ask for any food to be removed were were prepared to pay as agreed! We let her know we were unwilling to pay the gratuity. She then stormed off and said "don't pay then". The hostess who was definitely more mild came over and we gave her the cash for the meal. Not sure if it was a bad day, bad manager, or what but the overall experience was terrible and one we will never forget as a family. read more

It was interesting, trying to figure out why the over the top Christmas decorations or why tiara banks had a shrine on display! My drink was hitting on all fronts, all it took was one! Based on previous reviews I had to try the Gouda Mac and cheese with crawfish. It was good, but could have been more cheesy for my taste buds! I guess I was expecting it to knock my socks off! Now the absolute disappointment For the the evening! The happy hour "gulf" oysters! Price should have been 25 cents not $1.50 they had to be the smallest oysters know to man kind! I've seen gulf oysters and they are usually hugh. So yes, I was major disappointed! Now what did impress me was the filet of cat fish on the fried platter. It was fried to perfection! read more

Bon Ton - Kris Kringle colada! Very tasty - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

First time at Bon Ton and the food was DELICIOUS. We had the 1 lb. boiled jumbo shrimp with French fries and corn on the cob. The boiled shrimp is cooked in their Bon Ton sauce/seasoning and IT. IS. S P I C Y. Spicy to the point where the juice from the shrimp would make you choke. If you can eat through the spice, then they taste pretty good. Definitely overpriced, but they're good nonetheless. The boiled jumbo shrimp is $24 by itself (shareable). The sides are an additional charge. They have a lot of sides for different prices, but the corn on the cob and fries were both $4 each. We also ordered a single basket of large fried shrimp, which was EXTREMELY good (if you don't like cocktail sauce like me, just ask for tartar sauce - .50 charge.) The atmosphere is very chill and ideal for where you'd want to eat if you like good vibes and good food. Also a decent location for groups no bigger than 6 or 7, comfortably. The staff was also pleasant. From the hostess to our waiter, Micah, everyone made us feel welcomed as first time guests. We'll definitely be going back to try other options on the menu. read more
